An appeal

I think it would add to the value of the forum if participants would put a location to their profile. It doesn't have to be your exact location but knowing at least what region someone is in helps put their opinions and ideas in context.

It helps to know if you are in Germany or Des Moines. At least to me.

Agreed.

Also, is there a reason I have to click on every reply in a topic to read it? I'd love to just be able to scroll and have everyone's replies visible.

Will do. But my opinions come from where I lived just about all of my life, NYC. Putting FLA under the location probably won't help much.

Your profile probably has Topic Display Mode set to Threaded, which gives you a tree of individual posts that you have to click on. You want it to display in Flat Mode, which is just one big display of all responses in a thread. On my computer (not sure if it will work the same on a phone):

1. Click on the My Stuff link along the top band
2. Click on Edit Preferences
3. Topic Display Mode is the fifth one down. Change it to Flat Mode
4. ???
5. Profit

It does work the same way on the phone

Dammit!!! Here I could be all good and responsive and earn ssome brownie points right when I need then (er... This isn't the FTT forum right?.. good, cause "brownie points" have a totally different meaning in that context)... But, alas, I did that when I first joined several years ago.

HEY... maybe I can create several other accounts and put locations on those... I mean it worked when I did it on Twitter to avoid a punishment cause You couldn't break the 8000 follower barrier...

Yea, I guess not... But, hey, I need all the help I can get in the next two weeks

I remember I had my location of Maxfisch but forgot to put it on here until this post reminded me.

Asp, you probably do considering you taunted a Mistress on here and told her she needed to be punished. Better work on those distraction skills.

Done!

I absolutely deny that accusation... I said "Someone needs to be punished", I never specified that someone was Her ;-) ... As for the idea that I, an innocent babe in the woods, would engage in the serious edge play that is "Domme taunting”... I just have to point out that the Venus de Milo is the ultimate treasure of Greek beauty and sophistication but that greek is on my hard limits list until 2020.

You're the fucking best, thanks!

Good idea

Oh, my bad Asp, I assumed since your topic was " Where is Mistress Ayn" and then you said... what was that again...



I figured you were saying Mistress Ayn should be punished. But someone would have to be really brave or likes living on the edge to say such a thing. :-)

Don't let him fool you. I was exactly the person he was talking about and he WILL be punished when I visit his area in a couple of weeks. Of course, that's probably what he wants.

That one is always putting his foot in his mouth. He actually called Me "young Lady" in his last email. Obviously a glutton for punishment.

Actually.. being 100% truthful here.. no it wasn't. I would have said "You should really be punished for this" rather than "someone". Although, whether anyone believes me or not, I already know the someone in this scenario WILL be me.. Per usual..

As for the other, You know I think of You as a lady of ultimate class and that I think You are young rather than old so the term just fits (ok.. so on this one I am way out on a ledge but I seriously thought She would turn the someone comment back on me rather than it being about Her).

As an aside though.. can you imagine how much of a smartass I would be if I was a SAM rather than the SAW that I am?

Ok, educate me here please. I don't know all the acronyms and I tried finding SAM and SAW, but no luck. What do they stand for?

SAM stands for "Smart-Ass Masochist" and is sometimes used as a very deragatory term for when a sub tries to top from the bottom by being disrespectful in order to get a Dominant to punish them or punish them much harder.

On the other hand, the same term can be used in an affectionate way for a sub who acts out in a very playful and bratty way, as part of an established dynamic, to taunt and tease their Dominant... Which again, drives the Dominant to want to really torture them and make them pay but with a sadistic smile on their face. In certain subbie communities they actually celebrate, encourage and laugh about this behavior. If you have a FetLife account, take a look at this group and you will totally understand this context.

As for "SAW", that means "Smart-Ass Wimp” amd isn't really a general term. The story behind that is that years ago I had a Domme who was as a complete hardass with subs and was known for being EXTREMELY sadistic but we really bonded and she loved my sense of humor. So, on Twitter we would banter as I would go out of my way to taunt her in a lovingly disrespectful way and she would then threaten me with the most insane punishments... Which I would dismiss by saying as long as I was good for the last 72 hours before we met, she would never even remember I had ever been bad.

It was pretty extreme SAM behavior except I hate pain and am pretty wimpy in what I can take. So, we coined the term SAW to refer to my behavior. TBH, Mistrix loved how extreme I would get because she just loved intensity and it got her creative juices flowing. I would go to the point that her friends, subs and other Dommes would message her all pissed off, asking why she would allow one of her subs to publicly disrespect her like that (You may think the playful joking around I do with Mistress Ayn is similar, but it really doesn't compare to how I acted with Mistrix... And Mustress Ayn would never put up with me if I acted that way towards Her, so of course I never will... But, as I mentioned elsewhere, each relationship and how I act within it is a unique thing). Basically, Mistrix's reaction was to tell them to fuck off and that it was between the two of us.

Hope that helps from both a simple definition and context perspectives.
